WEST WINDSOR — The Little Gym of West Windsor is collecting donations for The Rescue Mission of Trenton to help provide for the less fortunate.

The Little Gym of West Windsor will be accepting donations of clothing, shoes, business attire, stuffed animals, belts, and linens until Aug. 10. All donations will be distributed free of charge in the Rescue Mission of Trenton’s emergency shelter or resold in the Mission Thrift store, one of the largest outlets in Trenton.

The Little Gym of West Windsor, a community based children’s center with over 300 centers in 21 countries, is always looking for ways to give back to the community.

“Our focus is to find ways to make the local community enriching,” said Robert Greenberg, owner of The Little Gym of West Windsor. “With this effort we are able to do that and so much more. Our team here at The Little Gym of West Windsor is so grateful to be working with The Rescue Mission of Trenton, and we hope we are able to make a difference in the lives of those who are involved.”

The Rescue Mission of Trenton provides a shelter, food and clothing to needy men and women in and around the Trenton area.

“We hope our involvement with this effort shows other businesses and members of the community that it is important to promote positive efforts here,” Greenberg added.

The Little Gym is based on a philosophy of allowing kids to experience success in a fun, caring and non-competitive way.

The center offers curriculum-based gymnastics, movement and other programs to promote coordination, balance, rhythm and flexibility. The center also helps children develop their social and cognitive skills, helping them reach achievements, attain self-confidence and self-esteem.

We hope people will stop by and drop-off any donations so that together we can help those less fortunate,” said gym director Phyllis O’Connel.

The Little Gym is located at 217 Clarksville Road, West Windsor Township.
